"Okay! The child wants to eat! You eat for him."

The woman opened her eyes and talked nonsense, and the man followed closely behind her and walked down the steps.

Xie Qing saw it and Chen Liu's scolding face flashed in his mind.

I have been married to Chen Liu for so many years, not to mention that Chen Liu cares about what he likes to eat and rarely even gets a full meal.

Now seeing Zhou Qi and Xie Yanqiu showing off their affection in front of him without any scruples, Xie Qing secretly clenched his fists and almost broke his back molars.

It wasn't until Han Shuna put the food on the table that she finally came back to her senses.

Niwai interrupted the conversation between the two and asked Xie Yanqiu to come over for dinner.

Zhou Qi went to the room to change clothes and came back. At the dinner table, Han Shuna talked about today's plans.

"Today we are going out to buy new year's goods. Xiao Wang will pick us up and take us to the market in a while. Everyone can buy whatever they like."

"Okay!" Niuniu exclaimed happily.

After spending a few days with Han Shuna, her personality became more cheerful than before.

Xie Qing carefully looked away from Han Shuna's expression. Seeing that she didn't mean to dislike her, he relaxed and scolded Niu Niu to hurry up and eat.

"Just laugh when you are happy. Qingqing, you are just too strict with your children."

Xie Yanqiu said as he gave Qingqing a piece of candy cake, which Zhou Qi bought specially when he bought gold cakes in the morning.

Niu Niu sweetly shouted: "Thank you, Aunt Yanqiu."

Although this sound was unremarkable, it hit Xie Qing's sensitive and inferior nerves hard.

Niu Niu has become closer and closer to Xie Yanqiu recently. She used to only play with Xie Yanqiu during the day, but recently she would go to Xie Yanqiu's bedroom to stay for a while at night.

Thinking of this, huge uneasiness instantly enveloped Xie Qing.

She even wondered if Niuniu had begun to despise the poor and love the rich, and despise her as a poor mother!

Poor Niu Niu was busy eating and didn't notice the fleeting darkness in Xie Qing's eyes above her head.

……

It's the end of the year, and there are only a lot more people preparing New Year's goods in the market. Xie Yanqiu is walking beside the man, and Zhou Qi is always looking out for people who might squeeze into Xie Yanqiu's belly.

Han Shuna kept chatting and laughing with Xie Yanqiu about market gossip.

This store has a wide variety of products, the owner of that store is a real person, and the proprietress of that store just gave birth to a big fat boy last month, and the boss gave out a whole street of wedding candies that day.

And also...

Han Shuna buys things on this street every day and knows a lot of gossip. Now that she is eager to share, she can't stop herself from talking.

Xie Yanqiu listened with his ears and followed Han Shuna's hand with his eyes. Many merchants who knew Han Shuna recognized Zhou Qi.

They all looked at Xie Yanqiu curiously, and when they saw the woman's slightly protruding belly, they were all busy congratulating her.

"Teacher Han, this is my daughter-in-law, she is really handsome!"

The merchants' compliments to Xie Yanqiu undoubtedly played into Han Shuna's favour. The woman's smiling eyes narrowed into a curved arc.

Han Shuna, who has always been humble and courteous, turned out to be flamboyant today and praised without hesitation: "Yes, haven't I always told you that my daughter-in-law is beautiful, gentle, virtuous, sensible and capable? Take a look, I'm right." !”

She was not ashamed yet, but Xie Yanqiu next to her was so embarrassed that her face turned red.

While Han Shuna was still praising herself to old acquaintances, she turned around, lowered her voice, and asked him in a voice that only she and Zhou Qi could hear: "Our mother doesn't always praise me like this, right?"

Zhou Qi shrugged: "What else?"

Judging from the expressions of Han Shuna and her neighbors, it didn't look like they were fake at all.

Xie Yanqiu's head was full of black lines, and she wondered if she had a halo in Han Shuna's eyes, the kind of person who could save the common people.

Behind them, neither of them noticed, Xie Qing stood in the crowd with a gloomy face, holding Niu Niu's hand tightly.

Niu Niu's delicate little hand was so painful that she held it in so hard that she didn't dare to make a sound.

I couldn't bear it anymore, so I retracted my hand and sobbed quietly.

Feeling the movement of Niu Niu's hand, Xie Qing's nerves jumped and he subconsciously thought that even Niu Niu wanted to go over and stand with Xie Yanqiu.

The woman on the verge of collapse instantly became furious and kicked Niu Niu hard on the leg.

"what!"

Niuniu screamed and was kicked far away.

In an instant, the child's shrill cry interrupted everyone who was still talking.

Xie Yanqiu's eyebrows jumped sharply. He turned around and saw Niu Niu lying down not far away and crying loudly. Xie Qing next to her was standing there at a loss, still mumbling to herself.

"What's the matter, Niuniu?"

Xie Yanqiu went over, helped Niu Niu up from the ground, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the tears on the child's face.

Niu Niu was frightened just now, and because Xie Qing used too much force, she was crying so hard that she couldn't even say a word.

Xie Qing bent down and carried Niu Niu from Xie Yanqiu's arms to his arms without leaving any trace.

"It's okay, I was accidentally knocked down just now. Be good, Niuniu, don't cry..."

Xie Qingzai's gentle voice lingered in Xie Yanqiu's ears. Xie Yanqiu raised his head and looked around. There were indeed too many people here.What Xie Qing said makes sense. Someone must have accidentally squeezed over and tripped Niu Niu.

Sensing Niu Niu's trembling, Xie Yanqiu thought she had just been frightened.

Because of this episode, the purchase of New Year's goods in the morning went much faster than expected. With Xiao Wang's help, Xie Yanqiu was only responsible for directing Zhou Qi to buy things along the way, while Zhou Qi and Xiao Wang took the rest.

Women have really become hands-off shopkeepers.

It was approaching noon, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. If we didn't leave, the way back would be difficult.

After loading their things into the car, a few people got in and went home.

It wasn't until lunch at noon that Xie Yanqiu felt something was wrong. Compared with the morning, Niu Niu obviously didn't like to smile. She was timid and scared everyone.

She thought it was because of the bump she got in the morning that the child had a psychological shadow.

He took out the candy he bought in the morning from his pocket and wanted to give it to Niu Niu, but was stopped by Xie Qing: "It's okay, I'm a kid. I just got a little frightened. I'll be fine in a while."

Xie Yanqiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Niu Niu was Xie Qing's child after all, so he couldn't say much.

It wasn't until Niu Niu suddenly developed a high fever after dinner that Xie Qing realized the seriousness of the problem.

Xie Yanqiu and Zhou Qi were already lying down, and the bedroom door was slammed by a woman.

"Yanqiu! Zhou Qi! It's not good! Niuniu has a fever!"

Hearing that Niuniu had a fever, the two people who had just laid down quickly got up and put on their clothes. Zhou Qi went over to turn on the light. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xie Qing looking anxious at the door.

The moment he saw Zhou Qi, Xie Qing finally found his backbone.

"Zhou Qi! Niuniu has a fever!"
